WASTING OF MILLIONS IN CITY SCHOOLS IS REVEALED

BOND ISSUE IS HELD TO BLAME FOB HIGH COSTS Business Director Shows Enormous Interest on Present Plan. DAILY RATE IS $1,350 Points Out City on $1 in Bonds 'From 1900 to 1962. When in 1962 Indianapolis gets through paying off $12,441,000 school bonds issued since 1900, the city will have paid $1.90 principal and interfest for every dollar of bonds issued, according to figures prepared by Albert W. Walsman, school business director. Interest on the $12,441,000 bonds will reach the staggering total of $11,282,867.50. Walsman, in the opening gun of a campaign to build school buildings by direct taxation instead of bond issue, in order to save burdensome interest charges, today mailed copies of his figures to 200 of the city’s largest taxpayers, business men. Chamber of Commerce civic affairs committee members and other prominent citizens. Interest Would Do Building “Direct taxes equal to the amount of interest we pay on school bonds would pay the cost of all our new grade buildings from year to year, were it not for the heavy bond issues of past years,’’ Walsman said. “Interest on bonds issued since 1900 practically equals the amount of the bonds. “The law making provision for such bond issues was not intended for taxing units large enough to finance such works by direct taxation. “In a small community, where a new SBO,OOO school once in forty years is an event, a bond issue is necessary to avoid an increase in the levy of more than a dollar. Here such a building would mean about a one and one-half cent levy.” Daily Interest $1,350 In his letter, Walsman pointed out interest charges average about $1,350 daily. “I am preparing to fight this saddling of an increasing burden on taxpayers of this community,” he wrote. “A careful study of the city’s school needs and financial resources discloses that after the next year oi two, no further bond issues should be necessary for elementary schools, nor need tax levies be raised. In fact it will be possible to lower the school levy, if all interested act honestly and unselfishly. He explained that the debt service this year requires $1,029 958, of which $537,833 is for the sinking fund and $492,125 for interest, or 15.3 cents on each hundred dollars taxable.

Raps Miesse’s Plan Walsman severely criticised recommendations of Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association secretary, to the State tax board that new buildings be provided for by bonds rather than in the school levy, to keep the levy at a low figure. “Such a procedure merely’s postponing the inevitable payment, as well as nearly doubling the cost to the helpless taxpayers.” he said. “Since 1900, we have issued $12,441,000 bonds, of which only $884,000 has been paid in the past twentyeight years, leaving $11,557,000 yet to be paid. “The worst of the situation is that instead of being alleviated, it is being aggravated by constantly increasing issues. Present Bonds Due 1962 “The school city has heavy bond payments, in addition to interest, due every year from now until 1956-1957. In 1961-1962 the last $120,000 of bonds already issued will be paid.” In 1939-1940, Walsman continued, taxpayers will be hard hit with the necessity of retiring $4,520,000, part of the bonded debt incurred in 1920. The year 1938-1939 calls for payment of $858,000, and in 1954-1955 the school city must pay $767,000 principal. Since 1919, the school city has issued bonds for $10,221,000, compared with only $2,070,000 issued in the previous nineteen years. The issue by years since 1919 has been: 1919, $1,300,000; 1920, $4,736,000; 1921. $1,750,000; 1923, 1,760,000; 1925, $1,060,000, and 1927, $1,200,000.

Dean of Grave Diggers Says Chief Concern Is His Own Weariness. Ho! The merry grave diggers! All the dignity and formality of the last rites for a leading citizen means little or nothing to the “professional" grave digger. 'Tis just another hole in the ground, six feet deep. But “grave diggin' has its dark side” as well, says Tom Baldwin, 73. of 2635 N. Capitol Ave., dean of Negro grave diggers a: Crown Hill Cemetery. “Gad. this clay is hard,” said Tom. emptying a mouth of tobacco juice. “We git bung up lots of times when we want to go eat.” Baldwin’s once giant physique is bent from nearly a half century’s work with the pick and spade. He will complete forty-eight years at the city's largest burial ground, March 18. He boasts of having helped bury former Governor Thomas Hendricks and Benjamin Harrison, once President, and scores of other notables. tt tt tt YES. I was scared at first—but it's all work anyhow. I've gathered corn where those graves are,” he said, casting a finger over a monument spotted section. “Do I believe there is another life? Sure I do. I’ve always believed in religion through I never attached myself to any church. “Everything proves there must be a God. But the way the world runs now you wouldn’t think so. Talk about heathens over in Africa—say. all they can do over there is kill ya. But here they do everything. “A grave digger thinks more about how tired he is than anything else. Oh, I feel sorry for a fellow if his old woman is gone and he's got five or six kids. If a fellow’s got any heart at all, that will make him sad. a u u I REFUSED to bury only two people in my time. One was an old ‘gal’ of mine and the other was a woman where I used to room. I just sat down on a grave marker and let the other boys shovel in the dirt. “No, I never believed in crematin’ folks. They’re goin’ to cremate me over yonder in a box. I got a lot for myself a quarter century ago, when I laid away my maw and pa. We all got to leave here, so you might as well tell 'em how you want it. “If they don't think grave diggm' is hard work, let ’em try it. But I’ll stay here until I die, if they'll let me. “Jest ask anyone what kind o’ man old Tom Baldwin is. They'll tell ya. Come out agin some time. “I’ll talk to you.

Anita Rivers

aire sportsman. New York night club supporter and what have you. Some weeks ago, amid considerable broadcasting about what he intended to do, Thaw left New York for Hollywood with Miss Rivers, whose real name is Anita Pomares, her mother and his brunet protege, Suzan Hughes. Thaw expected to find producers, contracts in hand, awaiting him. They weren't. The millionaire and his troupe caused but a slight ripple in make-believe village, j Finally Thaw gave up and re- ! turned to New York with Miss Hughes. Miss Rivers, or Pomares, and her mother refused to go back. Anita had her heart set on a film career and decided that this was the place to find it. Now she has been re-christened Ann Page and is William Haines’ leading lady. All of which goes to show that even Hollywood occasionally knows what it wants. It didn’t want Suzan Hughes, and all of the renowned Mr. Thaw’s millions meant exactly nothing. It did want Ann Page, and she got a job without a nickel’s worth j of influence. 18-HOLE GOLF COURSE AT SPEEDWAY PLANNED Project Will Increase Usefulness of Track, Says Itickenbacker.
